FBI Seizes RAMP Cybercrime Forum Used by Ransomware Gangs
FBI seized RAMP, a cybercrime forum used by ransomware gangs, displaying a seizure notice on its Tor and clearnet sites. The action, coordinated with the Justice Department, provides access to user data, potentially identifying criminals. The forum, launched in 2021 after restrictions on ransomware promotion elsewhere, was managed by Mikhail Matveev, linked to multiple ransomware operations. Forum operators lamented the loss, and this seizure reflects ongoing law enforcement efforts against cybercrime.
